Producer Profile

Walking into the Kathmandu production center's reception you are immediately greeted by a cheerful ‘Namaste' (‘I Salute the God Within You') with hands pressed together in a prayerful expression. Proceeding into any of the production halls you'll be greeted by a complete chorus of the same as dozens of ladies press felt into a variety of shapes, while others stitch, needle and applique to finish hundreds of different styles of decorative items for export.

The purse is made with 100% natural wool and non-toxic, azo-free dyes. The hand felting and applique details on this 5 inches by 3.5 inch purse is done by a women's felting business in Kathmandu, Nepal, that emphasizes providing skills and income opportunities to women of greater need.
